All I see are four black rectangles with a bit of yellow. It would be great to make the game a bit brighter. You can do scares in a daylight, as modern horror films have demonstrated.
Come on, 53 is an average number of iterations for a logo. On some projects you can have 530. For example, this Lebedev's Studio work had around that much: https://www.artlebedev.com/unlim500/logo/process-1/
This is the first sale for Bayonetta and I'm seriously considering buying it. Except I'm not sure I like the genre, since I prefer JRPGs and interactive stories. But I like some chaotic storytelling.
Their last EU sale was just a month ago. Granted, these new prices are a bit lower. But with the amount of backlog I have, I can easily wait for a sale till 2023.
I see that their last 3DS sale was two years ago. Okay, that might be a bit too long.
Preordered a game first time in my life — got 13 Sentinels for 45 €. I've yet to grab it from the store though. Wishlisted the same games other commenters here did.
I agree with FishyS that it'd be more fun to have two simultaneous games — e.g. two weeks in, add another one. I missed the discount on Slay the Spire, and now I'm waiting for the next game
From reddit: "I've posted something similar months ago. Someone said Jonathan Blow said in one of his lives in twitch that "it's going to be out when its done"."
Watched Sonic 2 with my kid on Saturday — pretty good movie. Could've been better if it were half an hour shorter: we got tired of everything happening all the time by the second half. But still, comparable to the first one.
I recently bought some DS games off Ebay and was suprised at how thick DS boxes are. They are roughly 5/4 of old 3DS boxes thick, and new 3DS boxes are ~5/6 of old, which mades a DS box 1.5 times thicker than a new 3DS box.
Waaaaait, this looks and sounds like a proper sequel to Golf Club Wasteland! Same developer, same composer, same world and characters (see "Alphaville" logo, which was a plot point in GCW). I'm quite excited for this. "Radio Nostalgia From Mars" is the best radio since GTA.
@Silly_G you can choose the games: when creating or editing a group, there's an option to move games around the list. The first three are displayed on the group cover.
This is amazing. Now I can add meta information to my games: e.g. "Under 5 hours long", "8.0+ on metacritic", "Visual novels" etc. And each family member can make a group for themselves.
Also check out today deals on Deku Deals: there are hundreds of games discounted, including most of Annapurna catalogue (+Artful Escape), Draknek games, and OlliOlli World.
@Otoemetry Elden Ring is not bolded and not on Switch.
I guess they did not separate Switch from non-Switch games, and just made titles in bold for which they don't have any links. But again, I'm pretty sure most of these are on PushSquare. So I don't know.
I'd like to read an in-depth article on porting any of the "Most Impressive Ports" games. Like, how did they cope with memory and CPU speed, and how architecture differences were used for optimization.
A lovely format, and the list is pretty good. Reminded me that I haven't played Sayonara Wild Hearts in a while. Time to put it on!
My list would be (I've played ~10 games from each year):
2017: Rayman Legends, for its musical levels and overall flow. 2018: Yoku's Island Express. Many good games that year, but with this one I enjoyed every single moment. 2019: Sayonara Wild Hearts obviously. 2020: Xenoblade Chronicles 1. I'm ~3 hours till the end of the bonus game, and have already bought the japanese art book. So pretty! 2021: Doki Doki Literature Club Plus. The only game (yet) that made me cry. And reintroduced me to the VN genre.
I've been dying to play this game last Summer, but now the excitement is gone. Some games are worth the wait, and some become less anticipated with time.
Top 3 games on my chart are pokemon games. We've got 200 hours in Omega Ruby (between me and my kids), and last week it finally shown us the infamous "your save file is broken" message. Guess they'll have to start again. And I've just ordered FE:A to dethrone Ultra Moon someday.
After reading this, I went and bought two games that's been sitting in my wishlist forever. Really looking forward to an article for best VC games: I've hoarded JRPGs, but maybe I'm missing on some fun there.

Re: Nintendo Wants To Know What Switch "Groups" You've Created Since The Latest Firmware Update
I need groups only for choosing what to play next, since games I'm playing are on the home screen. And for that, grouping by genre doesn't help much.
My groups:

Re: Nintendo Switch Led UK Console Sales In February, But Numbers Are Down Year-On-Year

Re: Nintendo Switch Led UK Console Sales In February, But Numbers Are Down Year-On-Year
I don't understand highlighting in the list. Horizon and GTA V are not on Switch, but are in bold, or linked. Pokemon is, but it's in plain letters.

Re: This Official Nintendo Direct Infographic Showcases All Its Reveals
